Tokyo on Rails

This post will be a personal life update (with pics).

Today was my first working day as a RubyOnRails Developer in Shibuya . The company I work at does normal Japanese hours (from 10 till 10), but fortunately, they have a laid back international atmosphere. On a normal working day I communicate in Japanese, English and Flemish-Dutch with my colleagues. My co-developers are pretty cool and like-minded. The core Rails guy lives in Honolulu and flies in every few weeks. Also most of them have read the book that just got delivered to me: Getting Real

Another core activity next to my job is studying Japanese. Every Tuesday and Thursday evening I go to Japanese Kaiwa (conversation) class. It’s kind of interesting how slowly – but gradually – all that noise starts having a melody.

Also, I will try to make some more time for art. This weekend I visited an Australian Contemporary Art Exhibition and the Dutch movie ‘Phileine zegt Sorry’

Also I came up with my own idea of a cool art project: Yamanote Clock (This link is a writeboard, password is empty, feel free to edit!)
